I have been kind of following this thread out of interest.
Where do the Apple apps, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, fall short in
accessibility? Is there any compelling reason to pass these up in favor
of a third party suite that is yet to be accessible?
Because I am using DBT under Windows, I use MS Word to create my
documents. DBT has not yet released a Mac version but even if they did,
its anybody's guess that the Mac version will use Word or some other
word processor to import from.
But at any rate, I am curious about the Microsoft versus Apple deal.
From The Believer. . .
. . . what if it were true?

Hello Sean, yes, I am also referring to the most recent, standalone version of
Microsoft Word for iOS. VoiceOver does not work with tables in Word documents.
I know many people have said that the new Office apps for iOS are accessible,
and in some ways they are, but Word in particular is pretty bare bones in terms
of what is accessible and what isn't yet doable.

Hi all,
Office Mobile as you are calling it does not detect tables. Office Word on the
iOS is what I am referring too.

Hi, can you not create tables in excel mobile, then copy and paste them into
word mobile, and/or insert a spreadsheet as a table? I'll be looking into
office mobile soon for my girlfriend and wyould be interested to know if this
is feasible.
Best,

Hi Faisal,
I haven't heard anything official, either. But there are good signs. This fall,
Microsoft released a brand new version of Microsoft Outlook for Mac, available
to Office 365 subscribers. That version of Outlook appears to be very
accessible (e.g. the ribbon, reading and sending messages, and many other areas
of the program are working great). If the next version of Microsoft Office is
designed with as much accessibility in mind, it could turn out to be very
usable.
I'll point out that in my opinion, there is some accessibility built into the
Microsoft Office mobile apps for iOS but in many areas it is still lacking. For
example, in Word, I know of no way to create or edit tables.
Cheers,
Grant

Chris, I was just wondering where you heard this bit of information from? I ask
this because as far as far as I know, accessibility is not forthcoming as there
is no indication of this. Although the IOS apps are accessible, that is still
no proof that it will become accessibility on the Mac. A perfect example of
this is the official twitter app and twitterific amongst others.

Not yet, but it is expected that Office 2015 will be accessible just like the
individual apps for iOS. How accessible we won't know till they're released
sometime in 2015.

Hello,
i’m wondering if MS Office for the Mac is accessible with Voiceover? I’ve heard
it wasn’t in the past, but haven’t heard anything about this recently.
Thanks,
Brandon
